WIC Approved food question

I seen at a certain grocery store in one city close to me where they have Honey Nut Cheerios with a WIC sticker on the shelf label. However, when I go to the same store in a different city, they do NOT have Honey Nut Cheerios as an approved WIC item.

After looking online, I see that Honey Nut Cheerios is NOT an approved WIC item. Anyone else notice certain items marked as "WIC Approved" when they really aren't?

This happens all the time. Stores frequently mark some items WIC approved that shouldn't be, and fail to mark others that should be. And they often become hostile if you point this out to them. Bringing it to the manager's attention is definitely the responsible thing to do, but it might lead to uncomfortable situations more often than not.

I blog about WIC from the perspective of a former employee and client. The good, the bad, and the UGLY!

I no longer get wic but when I did the one store just had "wic approved item" tags while another store had tags that were printed " 10 oz kix wic approved" they had a tag for each item that was wic approved so there was no guessing and wondering if the tag got moved.
